NCAA Football 13 Demo Is Out, Post Your Impressions Here

[boomersooner31]

Just played 2 games and honestly it's NCAA Football 2012 version 2.0. Gameplay was improved and I like the catch animations but the atmosphere and presentation are virtually untouched. The end celebrations are the same. Same player of the game animations...come on EA! The studio upgrades have the potential to be cool, but what I want to see are non-final scores and player stats on the ticker. Still 50/50 on buying this game. Hopefully someone gets the full version early for reviews before I cancel.

It's the little things...the passing feels really good, and I love seeing the receivers reach up and catch the ball with their hands. And on crossing routes, they keep running, and don't have that little hitch. But everything else feels the same.

The changes are nice, but still fairly minor improvements. I'm curious if dynasty mode will work as advertised.

Still on the fence...$45 isn't too bad, but may wait for a potential $35-40 price.

Edit: Oh, but I HATE the Studio Updates. I'm one who doesn't care for the TV presentation in these games. I want on the field presentation. I want to feel like I'm part of the game, down in the muck, where players are getting beaten up and are tired, fighting, struggling and jawing with each other.

Playing as USC on PS3. Late in the 4th quarter, Oregon scores on a long pass (they kept me as the FS... thought I switched to DL that was chasing QB). Oregon was called for illegal touching... 1st time that I have ever seen that penalty called!!!

Probably going to fire up the Demo again after playing it a ton last night and posting a boatload of observations. Unfortunately, more bad than good. Pass defense is not good. Option defense is glitched (not bad, glitched). I can see this being a very offensively swayed game. Difficulty and sliders may help, but I'm seeing a lot of troubling things.

And that doesn't even consider how god awful the game looks on the PS3.

the studio updates couldve been a good feature... but there is hardly any different sayings, in the demo i heard the same things in different situations from different games...thats going to make it lame, it will have no specific feel to it, they say the same things over and over again.. honestly it got old in the first demo game... didnt seem to have much effort into it.

I have had a good time with the game so far, plays smoother. All these comments about it being ncaa 12 2.0 on animations and appearance...is crap. Go back and look at ncaa 04 on ps2...almost same graphics as 09..but everyone loved those games. I plan on buying it and Madden.

I don't think 4 Verts is as cheese as it was last year.

FOR ALL WHO SAY THERE IS NO CHANGE:


My friend played the demo. he asid there was no change from 12. He continued to play. After about 6 games, he started to notice how different it was, and how much better it was.
